I was able to launch the lil Rascal yesterday. Rare waeather for mid January in Wisconsin. Launch was at our club launch at Bong. Weather was in the 40's with winds from 5 TO 20 mph. Skies ranged from partly cloudy to mostly cloudy. By the time i launched at 2:32 in the afternoon we were mostly cloudy , with winds at 12MPH and 42 degrees. I decided to go with a H123 Smokey sam ( 38mm 2 grain). My intent was to keep the rocket under 1500 feet. I really wanted to prove out the stabilty factor which simmed out at just over 1 caliber of stability. I also wanted to prove out if my build quality would hold up with some of the new things i did. I also wanted to avoid chasing the rocket into the trees or swamps that make Bong a fun launch sight. I decieded to only use a 36 inch chute. Here are the pictures of the launch.
Here she is on the pad.

Upon post flight inspection I found no damage and everthing looked good. I was very happy with the flight and the build. This appears to be a pretty popular rocket and I look forward to pushing it further into the air.
